Is your SMS messaging turned “on” on your mobile phone device? For example; Androids and iPhones may require that you to go the messaging settings and turn on the SMS texting capability.

Is SMS turned on with your cell phone carrier? Call the carrier and request that the carrier turns on your “SMS – Short Code Messaging Service”. (Sprint and T-Mobile often by default have it turned off.)

Remember that if you do not opt-in, then you will not receive messages in case of a school emergency. To opt-out go to schoolmessenger.com/tm
